you may want to unlock the bootloader first.
having the bootloader unlocked allows you to get root access which then allows you to do anything with your phone as far as software goes. Roms, kernels, removing bloat root only apps.......etc

you don't need to unlock the bootloader in order to get root...

Hey everybody thanks for looking in I just recently shifted from the t-mobile g2 and my new atrix is arriving in a week and I'm really excited I've been using htc devices since forever and this is my first motorola device so I'm a little new to the .sbf file system and all and the bootloaders..
I'm a rom fiend and i need my fix also i need to sideload apps.. and need to sim unlock my phone as well.. the phone will be running 2.2 and its factory sealed.
What my question is that can someone point to me a noob friendly guide and also what to start of with? ( i mean should i sim unlock first, BL unlock first or root)
Thanks a lot!
Hello and welcome to the Atrix side of android!
Boot Loader unlock http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
Once you have that boot-loader nice and unlocked and good to go your are going to need a decent recovery environment.

Then when you have your recovery environment set up and ready its time for a good ROM to top the project off.
When it comes to picking your rom its mostly about your personal choice.
The two that I have been going back and for on are CheeryBlur
Link
And the Ninja Rom
Link
If you are just getting started I would strongly recommend going with CherryBlur to start as it gives you everything that you should need from the start.
As for root if you use one of these roms you will have it by default.

We have a WIKI now! Should be very helpful.
Thanks a lot, both of you'll also for the sim unlock which website would you'll recommend? and also is there some sequence in which I should sim unlock? or in the end is fine?
Hey guys, im sure theres a thread about this already and please dont pick on me, i just cant find it for the love of me, plus my boss is on my ass about computer time.
can someone please point me in the direction of unlocking the bootloader on a atrix that came with the official 2.3.4 update. i really hate blur and i want to install a custom rom, i have superuser and cwm installed i just need to unlock the bootloader
This thread is how I did it. Pretty painless. Make sure you read the thread before you do it though. The OTA update will soft brick your phone before you issue the unlock command. Be sure to thank the original poster.

i've already have my Atrix with a custom rom and kernel, 'cause i've unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed romracer's recovery.
i've been searching through the Atrix 2 and Droid Razr forums ('cause i'm thinking of buying one of those devices since the ICS let down) to see how possible it is to change roms in those devices and to my surprise, none of them has a way to unlock the bootloader (thus no way to install a custom kernel?).
is it really the Atrix 4g the only moto (besides some razr and photon developer editions) that is "hack" friendly?, the only moto that can freely load a rom with a custom kernel?.
greetings.
Officially other that what Motorola lists is what can be unlocked, Though there is an automated script that managed to unlock mine on 2.3.6 (I got the phone when it came out, so I am not sure if it works on later/refurbished models)

Thanks in advance, i would greatly appricate it if you could also post file download links.

The best way to do it. Its confirmed working on your version. Look thru the thread for the most current download cuz the op link is dead. I used it on exactly same version you have.

luckily it is possible (via script though) unlock the atrix 4g bootloader, i haven't seen a method on atrix 2 or droid razr

Thanks,

Hello fellow developers,
I am in need of some assistance. I need to root a lot of devices (Incredible 4G LTE Verizon) for my business.

The answer lies entirely on which build version is in the phone. The only known rootable version is 2.17.605.2 (a.k.a the "First OTA").
If your phone(s) have this build, do NOT allow the latest OTA to install. Root them immediately. Several methods are available, just refer to the resource index for your desired method. I highly recommend s-off, regardless of which method you choose.
If you have the prior build version, 1.43.605.3, then MANUALLY install the 2.17.605.2. RUU, Root immediately thereafter. Make sure you kill the ability for the OTA to be checked/installed.
If you have the latest version, 2.19.605.2, it is unknown at this time how to root...
I really want to root my lg g8x mainly to install viper4android to get a tiny bit better quality out if the device speakers. Ive searched everywhere and can not for the life of me find an actual method of rooting. Those one click root apps (ei: towelroot kingroot etc have NEVER worked for me on any device, let alone a relatively new one. If anyone has a method of rooting this device pointing me in the right direction would be very greatly appreciated
I don't think LG has released the .bin file to unlock the bootloader. With the bootloader locked, you cannot root just yet.
I too want to root and get out all the bloatware.
